Morrisons has faced a barrage of criticism from parents for selling "sexist" children's clothes.

It was t-shirts featuring the words 'Little Man Big Ideas' for boys and 'Little Girl Big Smiles' for girls that sparked the controversy.

One mum was so offended she even tweeted that she left the store after seeing the tops.

Since she made her feelings known on social media, many other parents have criticised the supermarket on Twitter.

One user, Irene Soldatos, called the shirt “Victorian.”

She added: “This is absolutely appalling, @Morrisons. It’s Victorian. Rank sexism and misogyny. Girls must smile & be pretty, but boys have the big ideas?”

Another woman, Rainbow Murray, urged Morrisons to not ‘diminish girls in this way.’

She wrote: “@Morrisons this is a horrible example of gender stereotyping and @EverydaySexism. Please don’t diminish girls in this way” while twitter user Lucy pointed out that some parents might not realise the lesson the shirt could teach young girls.
